Earmarks they asked for

Congressionally directed spending enacted at their request, alone or with others: 22 earmarks, $54.4M. None went to an organization whose employees are among their donors.

FY 2023
$22.2M
FY 2022
$32.2M

Against chance: set beside the earmarks other members of their state's delegation asked for on their own, in the same year and account, 0 of the 15 of theirs went to their donors' employers; chance gives about 0: about what chance gives.
